BrowserStack is a cloud-based software testing platform founded in 2011. It provides tools for testing websites and mobile applications across multiple devices, browsers, and operating systems.[2] [3] The company is headquartered in Mumbai, with additional offices in San Francisco, New York, and Ireland.[4]

History

[edit ]

BrowserStack was co-founded in 2011 by Ritesh Arora and Nakul Aggarwal, alumni of the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. The concept for the company developed while the founders were working on a consulting project called Downcase. During this time, they began working on a tool to simplify software testing. A beta version of BrowserStack was released after four months of development and attracted approximately 10,000 users. A commercial version followed, and the company became profitable within six months of launch.[5] The platform was originally started as a service to let developers test their websites on Internet Explorer.[6] In October 2015, BrowserStack was recognised as a Bootstrap Champ in The Economic Times Startup Awards.[7]

In January 2018, BrowserStack raised 50ドル million in Series A funding from Accel. In July 2020, it acquired Percy, a San Francisco-based visual testing platform. A 200ドル million Series B funding round in June 2021, led by BOND with participation from Insight Partners and Accel, valued the company at 4ドル billion.[8] That year, it was described as one of several Indian SaaS companies to achieve unicorn status.[9] The company adopted a remote-first work model in 2021.[5]

In December 2021, BrowserStack acquired Nightwatch.js, an open-source test automation framework.[10] In August 2024, the company acquired Bird Eats Bug,[11] a bug reporting and debugging platform, for 20ドル million.[12] In May 2025, it acquired Requestly, an HTTP interception and mocking tool backed by Y Combinator,[13] for an undisclosed amount.[14] In June 2025, BrowserStack announced the addition of AI-based tools to its software testing platform.[15]

As of 2025, BrowserStack is reported to support over three million tests daily for over seven million developers and testers and 50,000 teams, including clients such as Amazon, Microsoft, and NVIDIA.[2]

Products

[edit ]

BrowserStack's products include Live, App Live,[16] Automate, App Automate and Percy.

Browserstack integrates with other software testing products such as Selenium IDE, Testim, Katalon and Playwright [17] [18] used in 135 countries[9] and operates 21 global data centers.[2]

Recognition

[edit ]

In 2015, BrowserStack received the "Bootstrap Champ" award at the Economic Times Startup Awards.[7] In 2021, the company’s co-founders Nakul Aggarwal and Ritesh Arora were listed in the Hurun India Rich List among self-made entrepreneurs in India under 40.[19] [20] In 2023, Aggarwal was included in the Economic Times 40 Under Forty list.[21] BrowserStack was named to the Forbes Cloud 100 in 2024[22] and 2025[23] and received a Forbes India Leadership Award in the "Outstanding Startup" category in 2025.[4]
